Description
From the company's website:
Our Deviously Simple, Delightfully Mean-Spirited, Wickedly Fast-Paced game, HEX HEX is back with a vengeance in HEX HEX NEXT.
Featuring all new cards, this latest edition can be played as a stand-alone game or added to your current HEX HEX deck for even more fun ways to ‘stab a friend in the back’.
Play with no cards in your hand - by using the hands of others with ‘No Man’s Hand’. Let everyone who touches the Hex ‘Rot’ away. Long to be ‘The Forgotten’ and gain Voice for each card still in your hand at the rounds end. Or ‘Rip Asunder’ your Hex and place one before every other player instead.
Integrates with:
Hex Hex

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a way for board game publishers to take their existing customer base that has already purchased something from them, and say "Well you like that? Heeere's more!"
- Because usually expansions require you to have the base game in order to play with them.
- So you don't get it home and get disappointed or feel ripped off.
- And the cynical side of me suspects that that's just a way for publishers to train their customers to try to play their games more than other people's games, right?
- So I have a lot of expansions in my collection that are either unopened, or they've... I've just opened them and organized them, I've played them maybe once, or they're on my big list of things that I desperately want to play, and it's all because the people I play with don't know the base game.
- So that's really important to know going in, hoping - you know - hoping that you can mix everything together, and then finding out that you can't.
- It should go without saying, but it just feels better playing with better stuff!
- So what you really have to try to figure out, and it's difficult I realize, is: will paying that extra money be worth that amount of enjoyment that I will get out of extending the lifespan of the game?
- BUY!!! BUY!!! BUY!!!

Quotes (from this video)
- For me to get rid of a game out of my collection I've got to dislike it pretty hard
- I don't want to be punching down on people
- this is the game that I think helped me understand that I don't really like real-time games all that much
- I don't like games where people can't be policed
- the immensely inexplicably popular and almost universally reviled flux
- life is random ah they have a little bit of random your game is fine flux is way beyond beyond anything that I can handle
- It's a drinking game is really what hex hex is and I don't drink that
- I would much rather have you know one designer two designers work on one game with components that are made specific before that game that they want me to play than just sort of this grab bag of game components and ideas and concepts
- Cyril helped me figure out that I don't really like tile placement games
- they managed to take sherlocky subject matter and build the really schlocky game out of it that feels like a zombie movie but it feels sort of slapdash
